“…In a systematic review of 16 studies including a total of 575 patients, 43 patients reported lower urinary tract symptoms at the onset of the disease, and 7 patients had worsening of previous symptoms. Scrotal discomfort and swelling, pain and redness, low flow priapism, bladder bleeding, and acute urinary retention were the urological disorders (22). Urological complaints questioned in our study group were rarely reported among COVID-19 patients.…”

The aim of this study is to profile the complaints in the disease application using a symptom survey in patients presenting with the suspicion of COVID-19 disease and to determine the disease-specific and descriptive characteristics of the initial symptoms in those who were diagnosed with the disease. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, symptoms at first admission were questioned in adult patients who applied to the Covid Outpatient Clinic between 21 December 2020 -22 January 2021. A total of 43 complaints were analyzed in PCR test positive and negative patients. Results: 273 (62.0%) first application and 167 (38.0%) control applications were included in the study. The PCR test was positive in 16.5% of the first admissions. The most common complaints in the first admissions with positive PCR test were fatigue (73.0%), headache (64.9%), pain (32.2%), cough (56.8%), sore throat (51.4%), loss of appetite (45.9%) while 15.9% of them were asymptomatic. Odd's rates of significant complaints for PCR positivity were calculated as 2.607 for fever, 2.724 for anorexia, 2.051 for cough, 2.594 for loss of smell, and 2.243 for loss of strength. Conclusions: COVID-19 is a disease that affects many organs and systems. Comparing the admission symptoms with the PCR test results will contribute to the recognition of the disease at the initial stage. Fever, anorexia, cough, loss of smell and loss of strength were found to be the distinguishing complaints of PCR positivity in our study.

“…Although less-identified, but becoming increasingly reported, are patients with COVID-19 developing new onset or an exacerbation of baseline urinary symptoms, most notably overactive bladder (OAB) [ 3 , 4 ]. This has been referred to as COVID-19-associated cystitis (CAC) [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…SARS-CoV-2 remain asymptomatic in 60-70% of cases, while the remaining 30-40% became symptomatic after an average incubation of 5-6 days, length differing from a subject to another mainly according to age and intensity the immune reaction. The most frequent clinical symptoms are fever (89%), cough (68%), fatigue (35%), sputum production (30%), shortness of breath (15%); headaches, weakness, sore throat, and gastrointestinal disorders (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea); pleural pain occur in 10-15% of cases [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Abnormalities at the computerized tomography (CT) scanning are observed in 86.2% of pneumonia cases, the more common pattern being frosted glass opacities and an irregular bilateral shading.…”

Introduction Kidney transplant recipients and patients on the waiting list for kidney transplant who acquire SARS-CoV-2 infection are at serious risk of developing severe COVID-19, with an increased risk of mortality for the their immunosuppressive state; other risk factors for mortality have been identified in some comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, asthma and chronic lung disease. Materials and Methods The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sharp reduction in kidney transplants in most countries, mainly due to the concern of patients on the waiting list for their potential increased susceptibility to acquire SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare facilities and for the difficulties of transplant centers to ensure full activity as hospitals have had to focus most of their attention on COVID-19 patients. Indeed, while the infection curve continued its exponential rise, there was a vertical decline in kidney donation/transplant activity. Conclusion This review article focuses on the damage induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection on kidney and on the adverse effect of this pandemic on the entire kidney transplant sector.
